Classwork/Homework:
(Game: connect four) Connect four is a two-player board game in which the players alternately drop colored disks into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid, as shown below.

The objective of the game is to connect four same-colored disks in a row, a column, or a diagonal before your opponent can do likewise. The program prompts two players to drop a red or yellow disk alternately. In the preceding figure, the red disk is shown in a dark color and the yellow in a light color. Whenever a disk is dropped, the program redisplays the board on the console and determines the status of the game (win, draw, or continue). Here is a sample run:

Do you want to play again?

Write the two-player program, YI_Connect4.java. Display at a every move the board as shown in the example above. Include a prompt to continue playing.

Your program should include:
1. Good documentation
2. An introduction message
3. Functions (Optional)
4. An end of game message
5. Input/output

What is good documentation?
Answer:

1. Header with author’s name, assignment description, date and python version.
2. Comments in each function. A short sentence will be sufficient.
3. Comments for code snippets written for specific handling. An example might be checking if there are 3 in a row, or 4 in a row.
4. Comments to indicate unusual or rare situations that don’t follow a pattern or repetition.
